826M cleaning?
Okay, not much of a car washer but want to keep the G80 pristine.
Did the Garry Dean method for my first wash and the car is looking damn good. Went to clean the wheels and gave up ( microfiber towel with ONR ). So many nooks and crannies... What tools are you guys using to clean these? |

This is the best tool IMHO (I’ve tried a lot of them)
https://a.co/d/inoUVsv Many coats of ceramic are necessary though (just cheap self applied stuff works wonders). The best tool is no tool if you can get a hose to work (lots of ceramic coat is necessary for this though)

I would not use ONR waterless to clean wheels. Brake dust is extremely abrasive and it gunks up microfiber clothes very quickly.
I recommend using a non-acid based wheel cleaner with iron contaminant removal properties. Then rinse off and use snow foam to lubricate the wheel while you use a wheel woolie or two to clean the wheel properly. Rinse and then use a microfiber for finishing. Cleaning wheels properly is a huge pain and these wheels are on the harder side. Ceramic coating will help considerably but it won’t allow for 100% contactless washing, in my experience. |
